Don't get me started! I'm one of those that defies EVERY size category. Too short for Average, to big for Petite, a size 14-16 (most of the time, except when I'm not....), which is on the top end of all the "normal" stores, and the bottom end of all the "plus size" stores, so nobody ever has anything in my size: "I'm sorry, we had one of those, but it sold right away." Well, if it SOLD right away, why didn't you ORDER MORE?! Long torso, short legs, means that I wear a TALL bathing suit style and have to SHORTEN petite pants! If it fits my butt, it's too long in the front rise most of the time. And it's actually EASIER, after I had my daughter. I used to have a THREE SIZE difference between my waist and my hips--just TRY to find jeans for that!! Now it's only 1 to 2 sizes (my ribcage got bigger during pregnancy), and it is POSSIBLE to find stuff that fits, well, sorta-fits.
Elastic waists are my friends. I like Capri pants--they come down right at my ankles! And I wear a lot of skirts--which I notice, CJ, that you do too! I don't care if they're out of style, I'm still buying pants that are tight at the ankles, because I don't have to shorten them--I just let them bunch up.
43% of women are "petite"--in a pig's eye! What's normal, then??? Fashion Industry: Get a clue, get a grip, and get your heads out of your collective *sses!
